Being a woman has its advantages and disadvantages... sometimes a curse, sometimes a blessing... Men always say "never trust someone who can bleed for 7 days and not die" LOL We are the stronger sex!

Get well soon !

Actually i was having this conversation with a friend of mine a couple of days ago.. who happened to be male. I love men... don't get me wrong. Completely understand that they have to go through pressures in life bla bla bla. However! While men may be stronger when it comes to muscle mass, i firmly believe that women are the stronger race. Afterall.. we have to deal with stomach cramps so bad that they can bring you to your knees (happened to me once in a shop.. so embaressing. ) every month... lets not forget the fact we happened to be bleeding! (so gross) What else.. oh yeah.. Pregnancy then childbirth... raising the kids... I DID have a huge list of things that i had managed to come up with.. had a really good argument... but for some reason i'v practically forgetten most of it.

Bah.. oh well.. I've just seen the first screening of Harry Potter 4 over here in England.. ha ha! It was sooooo good.. but i cried so much. Woops.. this is supposed to be a weight loss diary... not just a random blog!

Sorry guys.. ill shut up now.




Oh.. by the way.. its currently 4am here.. i'm wide awake.. only just got home from the city...


Oh yeah.. and i still cant breath very well! heheh

I wanna see Harry Potter! Do you think its ok for a 6 yr old... some people have different opinions on this....

Woman Rule! Men Drool! LOL but I can live with out my man, so what does that tell ya? LOL

Hope you're doing well with excercise.. ya feeling better?

TEAM ONE IS GONNA WIN!

Oh god no.. don't take a 6 year old to see the new HP. I cried my eyes out.. Have you read the book? There are a few scenes in it which a kid that young might find very disturbing. Its been rated a 12A here.. first HP movie with a rating higher then a PG.

Im feeling a little better thanks.. my throat is still killing which makes it difficult to breath. But at least i managed to get out of bed.. havent done much though. Still taking it slow.

Okay.. an update on my diet.

Last week was a complete nightmare. I was ill for the whole week practically so did no exercise. Most of my nights and pretty much all of the day were spent in bed trying to sleep it off. And i fell off the band wagon so many times that i actualy put on a pound this week. So instead of being 171lbs im now 172lbs. Im so dissapointed! But to be honest its my own fault anyway.

Techincally this week is meant to be my 'add a meal week,' where i still have the same amount of shakes and bar's a day, but i also have a very small meal. (like chicken and salad..) I'm not going to do it all this week.. seeing as i was snacking last week. My counciller said it was alright to do it for the whole week.. but what i choose is up to me.. so naturally.. im not going to do it for the whole week. if i can stick to the shakes etc then i might loose the weight that i didnt loose this week. But knowing that i can have a small meal if i want to helps.. kinda puts less pressure on me i think.

I would agree, don't take any children younger than say 10 to the movie, and only if they're mature kids. Personally, I didn't cry any, but there are a few very intense scenes, especially at the end.

Good luck on staying "on" the bandwagon this week Pinky!

heheh thanks Beagle. I had a nice dinner tonight and ate all my food packs.. so im generally feeling good about myself. (excluding the fact that i can't bloody sleep. )

Off to the gym tomorrow. Will try and remember to record how much i burn etc so that i can post it here. Might help keep me motivated.

I should really start putting how much i drink too.. got a bit lazy with that and it doesnt help on this diet. I got to work tomorrow night.. another late night for me! oh joy! hehe

hahah! Thank you!

Happy Thanksgiving to you guys too.. I'm not celebrating it this year sadly. Being at uni i don't really have the time etc.. but on the good side it means i don't eat the turkey etc.. which means i stick to my diet.

Just got back from a night out with no alchohol.. was going fine until i lost my friend.. (he still hasn't turned up and he switched his phone off.. have no idea where he is. ) but.. hopefully he will turn up soon.. probably found some girl and went home with her.. at least i hope he did.

Anyways.. just thought id post to say thanks. I'm off to bed now. Night! x

Hi Pinky! I hope your friend turned up! Congrats! on not having any alchohol! That is awesome!! Are you ready for the weigh in this week??

yeah friend finally turned up the next morning at my front door.. looking very sheepish with himself. He had ended up going home with some girl and didn't feel the need to tell me, even though he was staying at my house that night. (he was a visiting friend from home.)

The night out was alright without alchohol.. the only problem was that i was finding myself dealing with my lack of courage the whole night! never realised actually how much i depended on just a little bit of alchohol to get me going enough to 'pick up' guys. hehe *shrug*

Oh well... hopefully i won't be single for too long... but im not worrying about it too much. More to life then having a man.

I feel alright about tomorrow's weigh in actually.. been pretty good this week so i'm not that worried. Am sure that i have lost at least 1lb. hehe

Good for you Phinky! on skipping the alcohol!
Sorry you lost your friend for a minute. Guys can be so thoughtless sometimes. and you're right, there is more to life than a man, so live it well babe!
Looks like you did great at the gym! <Jealous> LOL

I'm feeling good too. I did NOT go overboard on Thanksgiving and for me this is a HUGE accomplishment!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~* GO TEAM ONE *~*~*~*~*~*~

WOO HOO~ !
